5. Basic Provisions of Labour Safety when Operating Routing Machines

The routing machine is a wood working machine giving rise to the
lowest number of accidents. The required labour safety provisions can be easily
ensured. The requirements in point are the following:

- order and tidiness around the machine are
essential preconditions for accident-free operations

- the tool spindle must glide automatically into the top rest
position during boring operations. This process ensues through the compensating
mass

- the tool spindle must be capable of arrest at the highest
position during milling operations. This requirement is met with the help of a
retainer pin at the spindle guide. By means of removal and turning through
90º the pin no longer operates. This is necessary when switching to
drilling operations

- the tool must evidence its highest setting within the
protective device, the guard basket
